| Method |
Researchers calculated the volume in these
different cellular compartments by imaging a cytoplasmicly expressed
fluorescent protein and a fluorescent outer-membrane
dye either simultaneously or individually. |
| Comments |
Based on researchers' measurements,
the periplasm occupies approximately 16% of the total cell volume
and the separation between the inner and outer membranes is
(45±10) nm. |
